RIDSDALE OR KEENOR STATUE

With costs quoted to the Trust of £100,000 for the Keenor statue alone, it is clear they will not be able to afford two statues, so possibly we may need a vote as to which statue should be the first one built.

Whilst Fred Keenor may be seen as favourite after being the Captain at a famous FA cup victory in 1927, when all said and done, he was just one man in a team.

Ridsdale however on his own, got us to Wembley, delivered us a stadium,got us into a robust position where we don't owe the banks a penny with no help from anyone.

This could lead to a healthy debate as to which one desreves to have £100,000 spent in his honour, especially at such difficult financial times.

I hope history will be kind to both of them.

Gwyn, never mind the statue of Ridsdale, just give him the £100,000 as a bonus for all his hard work!!

While we are on this vein.

I am glad to see that all riDsdales hard work is finally being paid off.

Maybe we should honour him in some other way? I know keep him on the board and honorary chairman for ever. After all he has done wonders for our little club

When he rewrites history, we will be a 3rd div club that he took to the brink of the premiership, and Weeeeembleeeeey in the Cup Final (he dont half bang on about that) as if he scored all the goals, made all the crucial tackles and was our best player on the pitch game after game. He also made all the crucial management decisions for us.

He is a tw*t.

I've just had a rethink, maybe we should do lots of little statues of him. Put them in the urinals, and give us something to aim for when we having our half time piss.

You wrote a very good post on here yesterday telling people that they should join the trust and vote for who they want if they require change and then have this "cheap shot" at the trust ( funny I've heard that phrase before somewhere)

If someone had had a sarctastic like this at rthe Rams when yoiu ran them you would have gome mad.

Elwood

How was that a cheap shot at the Trust, it was a piss take of Ridsdales feeling of self importance, and if he read it i'm sure he'd half think it may be serious, but for the life of me, I can't see why the Trust should take offence at it.

I'm a member of the trust, i will not be cancelling my membership, do i agree on every thing they do or say, no, and if I feel that strongly about it I would express my opinions by voting accordingl, we need a Trust, that is how democracy works.

Seriosly now, but if a few of us put a £1 in each, do you think the club would allow us to have a brick laid on The City Walk with:
'Ridsdale, you're a wanker' on it ???
Can they really turn the money down? Perhaps something less offensive would be OK, like:
'Ridsdale - We monkeyfaced your mother'.
I'll deffo give £1!

gwyn as we cant afford both i suggest we put the real ridsdale up on a platform outside the stadium entrance two selected fans will then throw ropes over him and pull him off his platform wherupon the rest of us can run in and kick the f**k out of him with our doctor martins.
much better than those iraqui's with their poncy slippers.

oh and yes buy a fred keenor statue from the money raised from the raffle to be the two supporters to pull him off the platform first

Job done

At least with a statue of Ridsdale we don't have to que to go into the stadium's toilets, just piss on that!

Ridsdale dart boards please !!!!

In that case I apologise.

On re reading and reflection I was a bit hasty this morning

I fully agree with your view above on the trusty incidentally

Maybe we could do a thing like the empty plinth in Trafalgar square, merged with Preachers Corner, by the Ninian Park Gates?

Former directors there each week, Telling the crowds how great they were as we walk past to the match, Ridsdale, Hamman, Wright, they could work on rota basis 1 game each?

my mate runs a small pig farm and has a huge pile of pig shit, he said we can use that as a tribute to ridsdale.
a pile of shit would be a ery fitting tribute methinks
